This cartoon exemplifies competition within the
Marketing Business

     Competition is used extensively in our society, at times, we even compete without being aware of it in our daily life's. Such instances are; when a test is taken during school, we discretely compare our results with each other’s or if someone in the same work field as yourself, receives a raise  or is given a higher position, as human nature,  one strives to become superior and achieve the same results.  Furthermore, competition is present within society in marketing, if there was no competition there would be no variety for the consumer to choose from. This competition is present in companies today such as phone, cable, petroleum, and groceries markets that strive to provide the better prices for their own personal monetary benefits. In addition to this idea, variety is necessary to be able to choose the best priced item based on your needs. The "healthy" kind of competition is within the academic life, were if someone accomplishes an assignment or test in a more excellent manner than yourself, then exerting oneself to exceed those results would be beneficial for yourself as it will improve your intellectual skills. The "unhealthy" kind of competition would be one that is seen in society regarding supremacy of factors that are not essential in this life such as infant beauty pageants, as seen in the show, "Toddlers in Tiara's" that shows girls ages 0 through 10 striving to "out-beauty" each other , and other endeavors that is based on an outside imposed standard, these kind of competition can arrive to a conclusion of harming the mentality of many because of failing to perform as well as some peers on some arbitrary scale of performance. Lastly, competition can have both a positive and negative affect in society, it depends in the manner in which it is utilized and what purpose it tries to convey.
